The RewriteRule one can be easily fixed by adding > RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.html$ > > Joshua. I tried your RewriteMatch proposal. It could work with a RewriteCond and a RewriteRule but this wouldnt change the URL in the user's address bar and that's what I want.Yes it would. Notice the [R=permanent] flag and look it up in the docs. The other big advantage to mod_rewrite is the RewriteLog, which lets you figure out exactly what is happening. Joshua.
Finally, I got it! Thanks Joshua, you brought me on the right way. Here it
is:
RewriteRule ^/$ /start.html [R=permanent,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(gif|jpg|...etc...)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.[^/]*)/? /$1.html [R=permanent,L]
Thanks, hb.
